>The victim was an American tourist who was on a pub tour, led by Leahy, with her fiancée. At the time, the pair were staying in Leahy’s spare bedroom, which he used as an Airbnb.
>On the night in question, Breakingnews.ie reported that Leahy, who was drunk, brought the victim to a hatch area in the pub, where he grabbed her waist from behind and thrust into her “four or five times”. CCTV footage was also shown in the court.
Another gross aspect of this all is that Trinity knew about Ms X’s complaint for a significant period of time and had deemed it not worth investigating until they found out about the conviction. Then, suddenly, it was worth investigating.
They quite clearly only care about sexual harassment when they thought it would make them look bad, fuck TCD.
>Ms Leahy said that although previous complaints by Ms X had not been formally investigated, the college felt it “proper and appropriate” to look into her claims when they were made again in 2021, identifying Mr Leahy.
& from this article:
> Trinity’s previous head of HR, Ken O’Doherty, had told Ms X it would not investigate prior complaints she had made on that basis.
